Ingredients You’ll Need
- 2 ripe bananas (not overripe, as firmer bananas slice better)
- 1–2 tsp coconut oil or cooking spray (optional, for crispiness)
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar (or less, depending on sweetness preference)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt (optional, to balance sweetness)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Air Fryer
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 2–3 minutes. If your air fryer doesn’t have a preheat function, simply start the cooking process and adjust timing slightly.
2. Slice the Bananas
- Peel the bananas and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. Thinner slices will crisp up better, so aim for uniform thickness.
3. Prepare the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating
- In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- Lightly spray or brush the banana slices with coconut oil or cooking spray (if using). This helps the cinnamon-sugar mixture stick and enhances crispiness.
4. Coat the Banana Slices
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the banana slices, tossing gently to coat both sides. Be careful not to break the slices.
